Quotes 

• Kinsley Kross : Well, let me put it into simple language. A civilized woman rebels against the dichotomy of modern society, and seeks her euphoria in.. depravity.

  Marty Bliss : Why, it'll make a bombshell at the box office

  Ethel : That explains everything.

• Ethel : Don't push! Boy, you're a bossy bus driver.

• Selena Johnson : It's very important for a budding young actress like Ava to study fine acting.

  Ethel : On television?

• Ethel : I don't think he likes caviar.

  Marty Bliss : [Trying to feed Sherman a cracker with caviar on it]  At eleven bucks an ounce, he likes it. Don't ya?

  Sherman Smith : Uh, uh.

  [Marty slips the cracker into his mouth as he speaks, and everyone laughs] 

• Kinsley Kross : This play breaks with the past, transcending also the trending modern postures which I find equally irrelevant in their persistent search for universal verities. It, uh, springs from a personal ethos that I call generative nihilisms. Do you agree, darling?

  Janice Courtney : Oh, yes, of course I do. Um, how do you feel about it, Ethel?

  Ethel : He lost me at lunch, right after he said, "Pass me the potato salad."

• Ethel : Selena, if you have a menu for dinner tonight, I'd like to look it over later.

  Selena Johnson : Today is Tuesday.

  Ethel : What's wrong with Tuesday?

  Selena Johnson : Tuesday is Ava's night at elocution. We'll be dining out.
